If you want to make your own Easter Game, watch out for the forthcoming Easter DLC which will be released to Steam at 6PM today. Remember this is a time limited DLC, which means you will only have a few weeks to buy it before it disappears along with the Easter bunny. Happy game making!

Thank you.

Updating now. Thanks.

Great Easter-Game!

I'm happy with the new version, at least till now.
Blend mode now work fine.
Good job! TGC team.

I stuck when I got closes to the windmill, on the first level, the rabbit froze. Apart from this, I found a fun game.

fun game-can't get the last two eggs ha

Thanks TGC, great release for Easter

Did you change something about GetTimer(e) and StartTimer(e)? One of my scripts stopped working correctly after the update rendering all the enemies in my game invulnerable: https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/215040

Edit: I already fixed the script. There was some poor writing by me altough it worked correctly until yesterday. But I'm curious, why now? Was the Timer behaviour changed in some way? Or was the way GameGuru reads LUA changed?

Hello everyone

how to save the game menu and load the game.
a small video will be well.
I do not speak English, I work with Google Translate.
big thanks

I believe there was a bug with the timer code causing it to fail to work properly in some cases. I imagine it was a fix for that. I haven't noticed anything myself with timers. My current project would have had issues if they were broken, I am sure.

Big thanks

dont do easter to be honest, i do updates at a lot faster pace though with less editor and more mechanics like ai being overly improved. cheeky nudge

how do you use the save and load function?

It's not ready yet - should be in next release.

Thanks for pointing that out Cybernescence
